One of the main objectives of the proposed course is to transfer knowledge and key strategies for developing research proposals that comply with the guidelines and requirements of national and international funding agencies for research projects. Therefore, it will be essential to ensure that participants, beyond their disciplinary differences, can assess the importance of group work and the benefits of receiving assessments from specialists with different backgrounds and career paths. Thus, the most important achievement of this course will be that each participant can independently write, edit and present their research projects. In addition, this course aims to encourage the local scientific community to apply for funding locally and internationally, showing the different possibilities of the existing international funding agencies.
The open call is open to anyone interested.
